D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths

Product Information

And I like that even with that guy with the bones of that instrument that didn't work upside down, I love how he beat that guy. The stories have been dialed back a bit for bitlets, but the stories still hold true to the original intentions, in my opinion.

I remember first reading this in third grade after having read The Lightning Thief and becoming fascinated by Greek mythology. Read about Persephone eating pomegranate seeds, Eos forgetting to ask for eternal youth for her love, Selene learning from her sisters mistake and keeping Edmynion held in eternal sleep, Hephestus and his robots, and Hermes' childhood antics. The audio book ended a bit abruptly, but it was a wonderful listening experience I highly recommend. Edgar concentrated on illustrating books using wood block engravings and stone lithography; Ingri garnered commissions to paint portraits of prominent businessmen. Looking at it with adult eyes, I see now that the stories have been somewhat sanitized for children, but without changing the overall essence.One thing I don't like is that he punishes people just for doing something wrong even if they're helping their friend or wife or husband. It was the best introduction I could ever have asked for and is still the one I trust to be both simple and accurate. They completed a sequel in 1976, The Terrible Troll Bird, an adaptation of one of their earlier works, Ola and Blakken.

D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths featured the impeccable quartet of Sydney Poitier, Paul Newman, Kathleen Turner, and Matthew Broderick. Now updated with a new cover and an afterword featuring never-before-published drawings from the sketchbook of Ingri and Edgar D’Aulaire, plus an essay about their life and work and photos from the family achive. Also, my brother and I were flipping through this book the other day, and we saw a drawing of the Andromeda: incredibly pale skin, blue eyes, blonde hair. So like a handful of hydra teeth I'll just plant this on the family bookshelf and wait for mythological magic to take root in due time.This book instilled me with a great love of mythology and classical antiquity that I still have to this day.
